Ted Cruz drops out of US presidential race, accidentally hits wife in the face three times

The campaign trail can be tough on politicians.

Not only that, but it can be tough on their families too. After last night, nobody knows this better than poor Heidi Cruz. The wife of Texas senator and now former US presidential hopeful Ted Cruz had to suffer the sorrow of watching her husband give up on his dreams - then get hit in the face repeatedly, as Ted Cruz reminded the world that his mannerisms are so alien-level strange that he almost makes Donald Trump look borderline human. Here is a video of Ted Cruz trying to hug a friend, but accidentally hitting his wife in the face three times. https://twitter.com/aljwhite/status/727747463348654080 Did you see all three? The first one is with the hand, the second is with the elbow and then he catches her again on the way back. We do not understand why people were not inspired to vote for this man.
